    Upgrade from Yamaha AS-501 for Klipsch Fortes.

    Hi all, I'm currently running the Yahama AS-501 with original Klipsch Fortes and I'm looking to take a step up-- preferably away from class D and into AB. Looking for something with slightly smoother, warmer sound without losing clarity. Happy to do it via vintage or new, separates, integrated...

    New Here!

    Hi all! I'm new here, and pretty green and new to the audiophile world too, so I might be posting on here quite regularly. I'm a musician, and I've played the violin for 26 years, and I consider myself to be a pretty picky listener, timbre, color, and texture of sound are so incredibly important...

    Yamaha C-85 - No Ouput

    Hi, I took an M-85/C-85 setup from my dad a while back because it stopped working. I plugged audio directly into the amp and it’s fine. I decided to open up the preamp and found two burnt resistors. Can someone tell me what these are and if the heat sinks are supposed to be moving like this...

    Yamaha CR-800 weak right channel

    My 800 sounds weak from the right speaker. I've swapped the speakers, and ruled that out. The volume is about half of the left side. Sometimes it comes up higher if I flip the High-Low Filter switch a few times. I'm wondering if there are some things I can look at before I give in and go see the...

    Yamaha MX-630 - Pre amp recommendations

    Hello, I'm looking for a pre amp to use with my MX-630. I checked for a CX-630 but seems like it's a rare pre amp in the market! (with remote). But, I checked for an integrated amplifier that I can use as pre amp and seems like the Yamaha AX-550 can be a good match. Any one have experiences...

    Yamaha NS 690II woofer ohm rating?

    I have an extra NS 690II woofer (#JA3060) that I was going to refoam and then sell to someone who could use it. However, I don't want to sell it unless the ohm rating is appropriate. I am unsure as to what the ohm rating should be. I measured 6.2 at the terminals. Is this appropriate and is...

    which preamp to match an M-65, klipsch Heresy 2 and TT?

    I just found an M65 in perfect condition (supposed to be...) that I should get on friday. I mostly use my turntable, and also an nvidia shield TV with kodi to play music through my SMSL A8 DAC. The SMSL would be used at first as DAC and preamp. But I suppose I could find much better. I read...

    Steinberg UR44, bad DAC?

    Hey there. I know this forum is more focused towards hi-fi products and less towards pro-audio products, but I wonder nonetheless if anyone can comment on the converters in the Steinberg UR44. Steinberg is owned by Yamaha, and all the chips inside are Yamaha, so presumably it uses a Yamaha DAC...

    Yamaha speaker crossover

    I recently acquired a pair of Yamaha NS-A535's from Goodwill for $19. They're a big pair of 3-way speakers and sound very nice. There's not much info about these speakers on the internet, but I'm guessing that they're OLD. Maybe 80's or 90's. The fact that they're old points to one problem...
